No. 2: Quarterback Davis Webb, California

California quarterback Davis Webb has his draft stock trending upward after his performance in the Senior Bowl.

The 6-foot-5 and 230-pound quarterback completed 11 of his 16 pass attempts for 165 yards and a touchdown on his way to being named the Senior Bowl MVP.

Webb displayed his arm strength and his ability to throw the deep ball when he completed a beautiful 39-yard touchdown pass to Josh Reynolds.

Webb also stood in the pocket and took a hit while delivering a well placed ball on the back hip of Mississippi State wide receiver Fred Ross:

Webb would lead the South to scores on all three of his possessions.

The 49ers are in need of a quarterback and should consider taking Webb in the middle-to-late rounds, if they haven’t already taken one earlier in the draft.

He has the arm strength and size of an ideal NFL quarterback. Webb is a pocket passer and shows great patience and footwork inside the pocket.

Webb will take some time to develop, but he is someone the 49ers should consider on day two of the draft.
